Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 gives subtle nod to late co-star Cameron Boyce
Who was Cameron Boyce?
Born in Los Angeles, Cameron Boyce was one of Hollywood's most promising young stars had it not been for his sudden demise in 2019 at the age of 20. Known for his playful nature and comedic mastery, Boyce starred in Disney features like Jessie and Descendants.
He first got to work with Sandler in his 2010 film Grown Ups as the latter's spoiled son Keithie Feder. The two shared a close working relationship, and he even went on to star in the film's sequel. The pair were set to work on Sandler's film Hubie Halloween together, had it not been for Boyce tragically passing away due to a seizure caused by epilepsy.
At the time of his passing, Sandler had posted a heartfelt tribute to the late star on his social media. 'Too young. Too sweet. Too funny. Just the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around. Loved that kid. Cared so much about his family. Cared so much about the world. Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way. All our hearts are broken. Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences,' he wrote.
How does Happy Gilmore 2 honor him?
Although Happy Gilmore 2 does not make any direct reference to Boyce's passing, fans noticed a subtle clue that must have been placed by producer Sandler deliberately as a nod to his former co-star. In one of the early scenes, a small television on screen shows an episode of the Disney show Jessie being played, which features Boyce in his role as Luke Ross. The moment caught widespread fan attention and was praised by viewers as a subtle way for Sandler to honor Boyce.

This was part of a broader content sharing arrangement between Disney and Netflix, involving legacy Fox titles like Lost and How I Met Your Mother. However, the agreement came with an expiration date. The entire series is scheduled to be removed from Netflix U.S. on January 29, 2026, exactly 18 months after its return. This limited time streaming window offers fans a chance to revisit the series before it disappears from the platform once again. Live Events Getty Images The hit series Prison Break will be removed from Netflix U.S. on January 29, 2026. Catch all 5 seasons including the 2017 revival before they disappear from the platform once again. What's included in the Netflix streaming window?

This full run mirrors what was previously available internationally before being pulled in early 2022. Why is Prison Break only available in the U.S.? The return of Prison Break to Netflix is limited to the United States due to regional licensing restrictions. Since Disney now owns 20th Television (which produced the show), the company has chosen to keep streaming rights for most regions under its own platforms Disney+ and Hulu. So, while American viewers get temporary access on Netflix, international fans will need to turn to Disney+ (or Star on Disney+, where applicable) to watch the series. Is Prison Break season 6 happening? Despite recurring fan buzz, there is no Season 6 featuring the original cast. The 2017 revival served as a final chapter. Both Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell confirmed they won't return. However, a reboot is in development at Hulu, set in the Prison Break universe with a new cast and storyline, written by Elgin James (Mayans M.C.). Why was Prison Break added back to Netflix? The 2024 return of Prison Break to Netflix reflects a broader shift in Disney's strategy. To drive viewership and maximize revenue, Disney temporarily licensed several older, high performing shows like Prison Break, Lost, and This Is Us to Netflix U.S., even while keeping them available on Hulu and Disney+. This non-exclusive deal helps boost platform visibility without removing content from Disney's in house services. FAQs Q1. When is Prison Break leaving Netflix U.S.? A1.
